Reviews

'Climenhaga's book...is not yet another omnibus volume,
collecting essays from a symposium. It is a complex and excellent
edited sourcebook that ties together traces of written memories
which have been slumbering in archived magazines or newspapers -
waiting to be woken up from a 30-year sleep. Ultimately, The
Pina Bausch Sourcebook - The Making of Tanztheater is a source
in itself and can be marked as a 'Survey of Remembering
Tanztheater'. As a glance at ways of 'Remembering Dance', this book
is an indispensable contribution to the (still to be broadened out)
research literature on dance for every scholar and student working
in the field of dance history and theory. It focuses on and
highlights the roots, aesthetics and methods of the German
Tanztheater as well as its followers from the 1960s until today. It
is a also a source for the reader who seeks to deeply research, ask
further questions and continue her or his own path of reflecting on
the Wuppertaler Tanztheater and the dance as art form in
general.'Theaterforschung
